The Wake County school system still has hanging over its head the complaint that the state NAACP filed with an accrediting agency.
Back in March, the state NAACP had alleged racism on the part of the school board majority's abandonment of the diversity policy and move toward neighborhood schools. The group asked the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, which accredits Wake's high schools, to investigate and take action.
Jennifer Oliver, a SACS spokeswoman, said Friday that the review is still ongoing. She said SACS has asked Wake for more information on the allegations made by the NAACP.
The school board majority had talked in June about withdrawing from SACS but agreed to remain a member.
